Greenhouse Loft Wedding Ceremony & Reception
When it comes to weddings, Felix and Fingers are most frequently booked to cover the entertainment from start to finish (ceremony through reception), but many people don't realize that we also run a multifaceted booking agency as well! Today's blog takes us to the...
Potter’s Place, Naperville hosts Dueling Pianos
Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos had their first visit to Potter's Place (Naperville, Il) last week when a corporate client decided to host an event at this venue. Admittedly, I was surprised that a high end corporate event would want to party at a Mexican...
Evergreen FS Throws Crazy Dueling Piano Party
Playing for Evergreen FS was undoubtedly one of the more memorable corporate events that I've played for. It started like so many others, the President gave us a warning that the crowd may not be all that enthusiastic. No problem. We're used to that. After all,...
Dueling Pianos Bride’s Review
Okay, you're probably thinking, “Of course the Event Coordinator for F&F will give a glowing review for F&F playing her wedding!”, and I sure as heck am! What you'll read here in this (hopefully!) insightful review, is why, without a shadow of a doubt, F&F...
Bloomington Center Of Performing Arts Wedding
This was a show that introduced me to some new and familiar faces. While one of our pianists was on a hiatus due to a leg injury, I performed at the wedding with Robert, who had 'stepped' in for Michael. Although it wasn't the original plan, we have a very tight group...

Felix and Fingers had an opportunity to perform at the beautiful Baker House in Lake Geneva Wisconsin for a wonderfully intimate wedding. When most of our weekends consist of 200+ guest weddings, it's a nice change of pace to play a wedding in a historic mansion for...
Maggiano’s Little Italy Hosts Dueling Piano Wedding
This past weekend, I headed to Maggiano's Little Italy with Michael Sherman to perform at a wedding. It was my first visit to Maggiano's. With so many attractions in Chicago (especially around N. Clark St.,) restaurant awnings can easily blend together. This is a...
How will Felix and Fingers get people dancing at my wedding?
A question I get a lot is, "How will you get people dancing at my wedding?" Some people imagine dueling pianos as a fun, sing-along show where people sit around and drink. That CAN be a dueling pianos show, but that isn't the kind of show we bring to your wedding....
Onion Pub Wedding! Again!
So we did another wedding last weekend. AGAIN. Sheesh, it must be wedding season or something! Actually, in some ways, weddings are my personal favorite as far as events that we play. What's not to love? There's usually cake, great food, and the musicians are...
Hyatt Regency Entertainment For Dummen Group Horticulture Conference
You've probably already read (or heard about) studies that show plants tend to grow healthier and faster when in a musical environment. I'm not completely positive how this works. Some theories suggest that the vibrations of the sound encourage the flow of...
Father Daughter Dance: Wedding Music Suggestions
After walking her down the aisle, the father of the bride has one more shining moment of the night - the Father Daughter Dance! First dances are always a difficult decision seeing as the majority of brides/grooms aren't professional dancers, nor have they...
Flash Mob Soars At Brookfield Zoo
It was not the first time for Felix and Fingers to perform at the Brookfield Zoo, and as tempting as it may have been to title this 'Felix and Fingers... and Feathers' I had to give credit to the presentation that really awed the audience, and left the bride in tears...
